Virginia

Virginia doesn’t tax Social Security benefits. Individual income tax rates can range from 2 to 5.75 percent.

However, taxpayers who are born before January 1, 1954, will qualify for what Virginia calls “the age deduction”, and it’s worth up to $12,000 per person.

Washington

The Evergreen State doesn’t have any state income taxes.

West Virginia

West Virginia taxes Social Security benefits, up until the point your income is included in your federal adjusted gross income. Individual income tax rates can range from 3 to 6.5 percent.

Even so, taxpayers who are 65 years or older throughout the tax year, or who are disabled, are eligible to deduct as much as $8,000 of income from any source, as the state confirmed. For joint returns, this deduction is worth up to $8,000 for each eligible spouse.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin doesn’t tax Social Security benefits. Individual income tax rates range from 4 to 7.65 percent. Wisconsin has an exclusion of taxes that goes up to $5,000 of certain retirement income.

It is available for taxpayers who are 65 or older and have a federal adjusted gross income below a specific amount.

Wyoming

The Equality State doesn’t have any state income taxes.

    I understand that the Maryland Legislature just changed how much retirees pay in income taxes. I have not been able to find out the specifics of the new law. When does it take effect? What are the income limits? Can I now reduce the State witholding from my Minimum Required Diatributions?
